In their own words: Documentary masters eBook

If you want to understand, soup to nuts, how documentaries come to life, this book is for you. You’ll get specific insights into the craft and philosophy of filmmaking from a wide range of critically acclaimed filmmakers — and learn things about filmmaking that you haven’t seen written down elsewhere. Inside, Frederick Wiseman breaks down his editing process; Alanis Obomsawin re-imagines documentary as a means of listening; and Joshua Oppenheimer discusses the use of magical realism in processing “unresolved trauma.” Over and over, we drop you into the minds of some of today’s most influential documentarians, and, with our eBook exclusive foreward, we equip you to put these perspectives in conversation and share in their wisdom. This eBook is an insightful, fun, beautiful, revelatory, and exceptionally well-written treasure trove of interviews with some of the best documentary filmmakers working today. Find out more here.
